Agreed.



NYT article said primarily 12 hours or longer, not only.



Yes.
No, as DL said the 777 will get it.
Makes sense.



I think the 350 will initially fly DTW-AMS to get crews familiarized with the aircraft before it starts flying long haul. Then eventually it will fly to Asia from DTW, expand to LAX-Asia/SYD.
Most people would classify DTW-AMS as longhaul.
